Welcome to our 2016 private treaty bull sale. The volatility of the markets over the last couple of yearsshould sharpen our focus on profitability factors that we can control like pounds at weaning, cow cost, andmaternal efficiency. These are factors that we have been focusing on in our breeding program for the last17 years. Whether you are looking for a high growth terminal bull or a moderate cowmaker, you can findbulls in this offering geared toward future profits.
If you have followed our program over the last 10+ years, you can see the progress that we have workedhard to achieve. This set of yearlings is really powerful. We are featuring our largest offering to date of olderbulls that were developed to cover a lot of cows for a lot of years. Don't expect to see big fat 2 year olds.They ran on grass all summer and without supplement. We didn’t pull them in to the lot to start feedingthem until early December.
We are pleased to again have guest consignments from Klein Ranch (Heath Klein family) featuring anoutstanding set of red yearlings. Again this year, Mike Domsch has brought some outstanding bulls as a cooperator. These high growth and carcass homozygous black bulls will really impress. New this year, TimRippe joins us as a cooperator. These unique black 3 breed hybrid yearlings are the result of breeding someof his really good Balancer cows to Simmental bulls.We are really pleased with the results and think thatyou will be too. All yearlings have been in the same management group since early October. Each herd hasdifferent management before weaning, so take that into account when looking at actual weights. Rememberthat EPDs are the best way to compare across herds.
As always the bulls are unclipped. What you see is what you get. This year we will again have ultrasounddata available for the yearling bulls which will be available in supplement form a week or so ahead of thesale. The base prices will be assigned at that time. Check our website a few days before the sale for all ofthe updated data. We will guarantee all bulls to be free of the Angus defect genes. If you buy a bull andare concerned about these defects, we'll be happy to run the test for you at cost. Most of the bulls arefree by pedigree.
Our private treaty sale will begin on February 20th. We encourage you to come and take a look at thebulls. If you can't be with us on the 20th, give us a call, and come take a look at the bulls ahead of time. Asalways, we will provide free board until April 1st and fully guarantee all of the bulls. Give us a call for moreinformation. We look forward to visiting with you about this exciting bull offering, and hope to see you onor before the 20th.

CDI North Dakota 288A is a bull we purchased from C Diamond in 2014 as the High Seller. Heis a purebred, red, calving ease bull, which is a cow maker in the making. He comes from agreat cow family in Hooks Mika 141M. He is in the top of 1% of the breed for API and TI. Weare really excited about the females that he has already produced in his first calf crop. He willdo well on heifers or cows.

LOTS 3-6 We are really excited about this flush of bulls. This is the most consistent flush we have produced to date. They bring depth, thickness, and power to the table. We have had a hardtime choosing which is our favorite. To help separate differences between the bulls, all the embryo bulls were tested with the Low Density DNA test. The EPDs listed are DNA enhanced. Thisgives more accuracy and gives variance to the EPDs.

Our Low Input 2 Year Old Program To those of you who are new to our program, these coming 2 year olds mightrequire an explanation. They were born in late May and June by design. Wehandle this set of cows completely separate from the early spring calving cowsas a true low input herd. They are required to graze grass through the winterwith an occasional stalk or hay field. They get liquid protein or lick tubs, buthave had only three bales in nearly nine years. Rather than push these bulls tomaximize their growth, we grow them slow during the winter, then kick themout on grass all summer. We didn’t pull them into the lot until early December.Sure, we could have made them weigh a ton, but that wouldn’t have changedtheir genetics. We are serious about developing our own brand of Simmentalsthat can be productive in a low input system. These bulls are the proof. All bullsare virgin unless otherwise noted.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most ac-curate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. Inusing EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents theunit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. Forexample, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit dif-ference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to+10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units theyare expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to wean-ing weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds moreweaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would beexpected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calfheifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-rankingchart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him rel-ative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or moredetailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmen-tal.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in:
All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under anall-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)
Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.
Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.
Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used onheifers.
Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.
Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births infirst-calving daughters.
Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.
Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.
Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weightdue to milk and growth.
Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.
Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak.
Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in thecowherd at 6 years of age.
Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a termi-nal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.
Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.
Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.
$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic lev-els for many economically important traits, they only provide apiece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in.Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overallimpact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to thedramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over thelast several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes:
All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entirecow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows)with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd sizeretained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and soldgrade and yield.
Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Anguscows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.
Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’rekeeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs,zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above,index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can beused to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another.Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull comparedto another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, youcan quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra$6,000 over a+50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart isrequired to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relativeto other bulls in the breed.
